SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--24 Hour Fitness is pleased to celebrate the much-anticipated grand
opening of its new location in Livermore, Calif. The 24 Hour Fitness®
Livermore Super-Sport club located at 2650 Kittyhawk Road will open to
the public on Saturday, Dec. 22 at 6 a.m.

“24

pleased with the new, large location and expanded opportunities it will
give our local residents to be active.”

To celebrate, 24 Hour Fitness invites the local community to stop by on
grand opening day for complimentary VIP club tours. Beginning at 6 a.m.
and throughout the day, event attendees will have the opportunity to
sample several Group X® classes, including Les Mills
BODYPUMP™, Step and Yoga. In addition, attending the celebration will be
Livermore Mayor John Marchand. Marchand will join 24 Hour Fitness at 9
a.m. for a ribbon cutting ceremony, where he will proclaim Dec. 22 as
“Healthy Livermore Day” in honor of the new club.

“The City of Livermore values businesses like 24 Hour Fitness, which
encourage regular exercise and healthy living,” Mayor Marchand said. “24
Hour Fitness has served our community for the past 16 years, and we are
pleased with the new, large location and expanded opportunities it will
give our local residents to be active.”

To support the local community, 24 Hour Fitness will collect canned food
and help distribute groceries and meals to more than 800 Tri-Valley
residents for Livermore’s Open
Heart Kitchen. The organization provides fresh, hot meals to the
hungry – serving more than 236,000 meals each year. Additionally, those
who visit the new 24 Hour Fitness Livermore Super-Sport club on grand
opening day are encouraged to bring non-perishable canned food items to
donate.

“This time of year can be difficult for many people and families who are
underserved, homeless and struggling to make ends meet,” said Linda
McKeever, executive director, Open Heart Kitchen. “The generosity of 24
Hour Fitness, along with their members and team members, will truly help
people to live healthier, by feeding people from all over the Tri-Valley
area who are hungry and in need this holiday season.”

Club manager LaRay Spencer, a four-year veteran of 24 Hour Fitness, will
lead more than 100 team members at the Super-Sport club. It is the first
of four new locations scheduled to open in the Bay Area over the next
six months – an estimated $25 million investment for the health club
industry leader. It spans approximately 68,500 square feet and features
an array of amenities and equipment that members and guests can enjoy,
including:

Wide variety of cardio, strength and functional training equipment

TRX® Suspension Training

In addition, the 24 Hour Fitness Livermore Super-Sport club will be one
of the first locations in the health club chain to offer Parisi
Speed School youth athletic performance training programs. It will
offer approximately 20 training classes each week - each designed to
improve fundamental athletic skills, speed, quickness and self-esteem
among children and teens ages seven to 17 and people of all ages.
One-on-one training sessions with certified Parisi Speed School coaches
will also be available.
